Three Traitor Elves, One Fierce Viper

Corin rescues three injured sprites—Aon, Dó, and Trí—only to see them fall for his brother Julian and plot to make Corin give them up. He retaliates by trading them for Julian’s snake-woman Vesper, then agrees to a fake marriage for 5% of the family company. When the wedding erupts into chaos, Corin escapes abroad with Vesper. After Julian drives the business into crisis, Corin returns, seizes control, and flips the family power dynamic for good.
